Margaret thinks a painting in Kelvingrove Art Gallery inspired her mother to marry her father.
In Glasgow, the two women stayed at the youth hostel, and Sarah fell in love with the city. Her daughter thinks this was also where she realised who she really wanted to marry.
“I had listened to my mother’s stories all my life – how she and Liz, near the Arctic Circle, picked up reindeer antlers and tied them to the top of their chocolate Morris Minor; how she met Picasso in the south of France and was bored by his talk about fascism; how she was driven off the road by Spanish sherry barons, then had drinks and saw a flamenco show with them.
“She picked up German male hitchhikers and travelled with them through Denmark and Norway, and she hitched rides herself in Scotland, when she and Liz had hiked too far from their car.”After her father died in 2016, Margaret joined a dance programme which took her to Europe every six months for about three years.
